Lyrics

Beauty like a Bullet

Black dress and a subtle line in the sand
her beauty's like a bullet
you pushed her down then put a trigger in her hand
now she's gonna pull it
tempts you with a razor kiss
makes you think you've never felt like this
loses you with the morning mist
until you don't know if you still believe
believe

Long drive and the chaos of her hair
you can barely take it
silence like a dying soldier's prayer
you don't know how to break it
reach for her just to douse the flame
but you feel her taking aim
lose your breath and say her name
and stand waiting for the fall
her beauty's like a bullet

fading scar and the whisper of a losing game
she lingers like a vapor
find yourself looking for your own name
in the morning paper
things look clearer in the morning light
but you see her in the corners of the night
put your finger to the tender spot
where the pain is moist and hot
her beauty's like a bullet

white lace and a perfect alibi
she leaves it all behind her
you tell them that you can't identify
but you carry the reminder
and she haunts you like the memory
of someone you will never see
until you're at the door with the key
and you know you're not alone...
her beauty's like a bullet
her beauty's like a bullet
her beauty's like a bullet
her beauty's like a bullet
